Synthesis of C1- and C 3ν-symmetric porphyrin trimers based on triphenylmethane cores

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/s00706-007-0629-y

This work describes the synthesis of a new class of tripodaphyrin derivatives with a triphenylmethane core. Both C ₁- and C _3ν-symmetric tetrahedral large molecules with covalently linked rigid elements were obtained.
